Oilers Turning It Around....slowly



Feeling pretty good these days. Preseason football is starting, which I'll get to shortly, and hockey is also not too far off. After my earlier rant about how the Oilers are doing dick all I'd like to thank Kevin Lowe, who clearly reads the site and is a big fan (stop sending me pictures of yourself in suggestive poses, its not gonna happen dude) Finally some moves toward the future have been made. Signing Dustin Penner showed that he'll at least do whatever it takes to get players, though it might have been a little much to pay if he keeps progressing the way he has been he'll be worth it.

Souray was needed, though I'm still pretty sure he'd be better of with the Pens, the Oil need the veterans on D to show their young talent how its done. And also since they got rid of those draft picks in the Penner deal it's a good thing they had so many this year cause they're not gonna have much new young talent for a little while. I also love the pick up of Mathieu Garon, mostly cause he'll sit on the bench most of the year and let Roloson do his thang and I liked him when he was with the Kings and think he's got more potential than he's given credit for. I'm not saying his a solid #1 right now, but he can definitely be a pretty good #2. And hey, who doesn't like Geoff Sanderson.
